A firm understanding of anatomy is foundational for all medical students and residents. As opportunities for cadaveric study dwindle, we propose a simplified perfusion model for formalin fixed cadavers that allow for endoscopic neuroanatomical study and procedural practice. This model is easily accessible, cost effective, and valuable in medical training.
Cadavers were fixed through accepted methods that included formalin injection into the cranial vault. The perfusion system was set up using a series of catheters, tubing, and pressurized saline bag that forced saline into the various neuroanatomical spaces chosen for study.
A neuroendoscope was subsequently introduced to explore and identify relevant neuroanatomical structures as well as to perform a 3 ventriculostomy and filum sectioning.
Using formalin fixed cadavers for neuroendoscopic studies and procedural practice is a cost effective, multipurpose tool that can provide medical trainees with a strong understanding of anatomy as well as procedural practice.
扎实掌握解剖学知识是所有医学生和住院医师的基础。随着尸体研究机会的减少，我们提出一种针对福尔马林固定尸体的简化灌注模型，该模型可用于内镜神经解剖学研究和操作练习。此模型易于获取、成本效益高，在医学培训中具有重要价值。
通过公认的方法对尸体进行固定，包括向颅腔内注射福尔马林。使用一系列导管、 tubing 和加压盐水袋建立灌注系统，将盐水压入选定用于研究的各种神经解剖空间。
随后引入神经内镜以探索和识别相关神经解剖结构，并进行三脑室造瘘术和终丝切断术。
使用福尔马林固定尸体进行神经内镜研究和操作练习是一种经济高效的多功能工具，可为医学实习生提供对解剖学的深入理解以及操作练习机会。
